Saving SVG Image

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am building a SVG Image and using Image Saver Action Block. I would like to save the image in the

in the project images folder. I can do this by specify the folder location.

u201CD:/usr/sap/.../JC00/j2ee/cluster/server0/apps/sap.com/xapps_xmiiear/servlet_jsp/XMII/......./images/abcd.jpgu201D

It works fine, The problem with this approach is that as we promote the source into QA and PROD. We need to change the path.

I tried using u201Cserver://XMII/CM/.../images/abcd.jpgu201D but did not work.

Looking for the expert advice...

Thanks

try web or db instead of server

No - didn't work, at the same time got no error. Just to double check, I verified the Images folder at MII Server.

Thanks

Vikas,

If you are going to use the image in a web page, you should probably use web: instead of db so that it is published. If you are using it internally in a MII transaction, then use db: which has less overhead.

Good luck,

Mike

And to add to Christian's point, a nice 'trick' to help you with the path would be to take this image and import it into your desired Project WEB folder, then drag it into a TRX and look at the configure dialog path. This should help you construct the path in your saver logic. This will likely start with db:// and switching to web:// should be as simple as switching the prefix and removing the WEB subfolder down in the path.

Vikas,

In your MII Workbench, look under the Web tab and find your project name. Under there is a folder named WEB which should contain your image. If the path did not exist previously, it will have built it when saving the image.

Good luck,

Thanks Christian, Jeremy and Michael...

For some strange reason, The suggestion by Christian did not work first time.

It is working with both web and db prefix and I am using db://../WEB/images/abcd.jpg as suggested..

Thank again!!

You are quite welcome.

For your file, you may have to refresh the folder in order to see a newly created object. That is probably why you did not see it the first time around.

If you are incorporating these server generated svg images into web pages for the user, you will want to use the web:// format so that not only are the images saved into the NW database, but so they are also auto published to the web AS file location for the <img/> tag relative references.

The workbench shows the DB, the browser will need the WEB.
